Asparago di Cantello

Asparago di Cantello, recognized as a protected geographical indication since 2014, occupies a uniquely narrow footprint within the Lombardy region. While neighboring vegetable denominations often span entire provinces or valleys, this specialized asparagus is legally confined to a production zone consisting of just one municipality: Cantello. This extreme localization limits its geographic scope entirely to municipal borders. Furthermore, registry data presents a unique administrative anomaly: there are currently zero verified producers officially active under the appellation. This combination of a single-town boundary and dormant production distinguishes it from any other active food origin in the region.
